Fig 2 A, Suprabasilar acantholysis with tombstoning of the basilar keratinocytes (single arrow) and keratinocyte necrosis (double arrow) are present together. B, Vacuolar interface dermatitis (single arrow) underlies keratinocyte apoptosis. C, Overlying the intraepidermal blister, there is parakeratosis and dymaturation, with dyskeratotic cells in the stratum corneum (single arrow), indicative of chronicity. D, Weak focal cell surface (single arrow) and junctional (double arrow) reactivity. (A-C, Hematoxylin-eosin stain; original magnification: A, ×100; B and C, ×200.)
